The first candidate that promises to devote more resources to fighting bulging spinal discs gets my vote. I don't care if the rest of their platform involves tax breaks for pedophiles, right now, I'm voting for them.

The policies that the current adimistration as well as senate have been pushing speak for themselves. We are a hand out/food stamp society and when it is pointed out we are then told that we do not know what socialism is and there is no way we are that. You can see it everyday, if we had more Becks, Rush's and Sarahs a lot of us would be more happy.

American corporations and the 1% not creating jobs here in America has more to do with our food-stamp society than the current administration.

Can't tax corporations and the top 1%...they're the "job creators".

"Job creators" not creating American jobs with those tax breaks...no problem.

Americans without jobs needing public assistance = Soshulizm!!!

Under that logic I guess George W. Bush is the biggest socialist president in the history of the country. More people enrolled for food stamps under Bush than any other President in our history.

here you go billy but it seems that someone has there facts wrong or they just chose to believe that what a Democratic congresswoman says about there chosen to be 100% true because three years down the road it is still bushes fault, thats liberal 101.

"A Democratic congresswoman claimed Thursday that Newt Gingrich was wrong about President Obama being the “Food Stamp President” and that food stamp use increased more under President Bush than President Obama.

But that claim seems to fly in the face of statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture which show that there are 44.7 million Americans on food stamps – and there are more people are on food stamps now than at any time during the Bush administration. But USDA statistics show that participation in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) increased 93.38 percent from George Bush’s first year in 2001 compared to President Obama’s first year in 2009.

When President Bush took office in 2001, there were 17.3 million people on food stamps. During his last full year in office, 2008, there were 28.2 million on food stamps -- an increase of 10.9 million – or a 63 percent increase over an 8-year period.

But from the last full year of Bush’s presidency (2008) through 2011, just three years into President Obama’s presidency, the number of people on food stamps increased 16.5 million -- going from 28.2 million to 44.7 million -- an increase of 59 percent in just a 3-year period."

It took Bush over 8 years to increase 63% Obama has almost overtaken that in just 3 short years.

I will gladly refute it with an unbiased source, unlike your Conservative News source. Moreover, your source doesn't actually refute that more Americans were enrolled on food stamps under Bush than any other President. It discusses total current enrollment rather than under what President they enrolled. Apparently they want Obama to take the hit on Bush's entitlement programs.

Here is the FactCheck source, that is not pandering to the right. Fact Check Link
